These assertions are some of many unearthed in newly revealed government documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Following a deadline 25 years in the making, the National Archives on Thursday evening released a horde of JFK files. President Donald Trump blocked the release of some documents at least temporarily, citing national security concerns, leaving researchers, conspiracy theorists and interested onlookers 52 previously unreleased full documents and thousands in part to sift through.

Here are some of the highlights from the trove so far:

Sabotaging plane parts
A national security council document from 1962 — before Kennedy’s murder — referenced “Operation Mongoose,” a covert attempt to topple communism in Cuba.

The report said Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the President’s brother, told the FBI he learned the CIA hired an intermediary “to approach Sam Giancana with a proposition of paying $150,000 to hire some gunman to go into Cuba and kill Castro.”

The attorney general said that made it hard to prosecute Giancana, a Sicilian American mobster.

“Attorney General Kennedy stated that the CIA should never undertake the use of mafia people again without first checking with the Department of Justice because it would be difficult to prosecute such people in the future,” the report reads.

The report also said the CIA was later interested in using mobsters to deliver a poison pill to Castro in order to kill him.

“We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of a Cuban agent and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.”

The FBI got a death threat on Oswald the day before his murderA document dated November 24, 1963, showed FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover addressing the death of Oswald at the hands of Jack Ruby.

“There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead,” Hoover begins.

Hoover said the FBI’s Dallas office received a call “from a man talking in a calm voice,” saying he was a member of a committee to kill Oswald.

He said they pressed the Dallas chief of police to protect Oswald, but Ruby was nevertheless able to kill the gunman.

“Ruby says no one was associated with him and denies having made the telephone call to our Dallas office last night,” Hoover said.

Hoover went on to say the FBI had evidence of Oswald’s guilt and intercepts of Oswald’s communications with Cuba and the Soviet Union. He said he was concerned there would be doubt in the public about Oswald’s guilt and that President Lyndon Johnson would appoint a commission to investigate the assassination.

In the transcript, Helms said he thought former President Richard Nixon believed the CIA was responsible for the death of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem, who died following a coup linked to the CIA.

“There is absolutely no evidence of this in the agency records and the whole thing has been, I mean rather — what is the word I want — heated by the fact that President Johnson used to go around saying that the reason President Kennedy was assassinated was that he had assassinated President Diem and this was just … justice,” Helms said.

Helms added: “where he got this from, I don’t know.”

The deposition continues, with him being asked if Oswald was in “some way a CIA agent or an agent,” before the document cuts off.

“According to our source, officials of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union believed there was some well-organized conspiracy on the part of the ‘ultraright’ in the United States to effect a ‘coup,'” the memo said. “They seem convinced that the assassination was not the deed of one man, but that it arose out of a carefully planned campaign in which several people played a part.”

The source said the Soviet officials claimed no connection between Oswald and the USSR, and described him as “a neurotic gunman.”

CIA intercepts call from Oswald to KGBA CIA memo from the day of Kennedy’s assassination outlined a CIA intercept of a call from Oswald, then in Mexico City, to the Russian embassy in Mexico. Oswald spoke to the consul, Valeriy Vladimirovich Kostikov, an “identified KGB officer” “in broken Russian.”

The memo’s author said he was told by the FBI’s liaison officer that the bureau believed Oswald’s visit was to get help with a passport or visa.

These “new” records hardly scratch the surface of working in Operation Mongoose. My account of training anti-Castro Cubans with Alpha 66 out of the CIA Miami Field Office in the mid-Sixties is titled, “Mercenary’s Tale: fighting Fidel Castro” (look on Amazon). Those days in Miami and going on raids to Cuba involved sinking the freighter/troopship “Baku” (Soviet troops had to swim ashore), blowing up an oil tank field in Santiago De Cuba and raiding the barracks of ballistic missile sites on Cuba’s North coast.
When LBJ decided to end Mongoose we were arrested for “Conspiracy to break the neutrality act”, held in Dade County jail for a few months and released with no charges and no publicity.
Read the truth first-hand.

CIA Operation Mongoose and/or Operation Northwoods… and people still don’t believe there is anyway their US government was in anyway involved in 9-11-01 or WTC bombing in 1993. Ha, think again try hard this time!

The fact that the CIA would consider staging domestic terror attacks proves it is and has been for for a long time a criminal organization and should be shut down. The CIA was probably responsible for 911.

The JFK assassination has already been solved. Oswald’s mistress went public about it a few years ago. “Me and Lee” by Judyth Vary Baker is the name of the book, which you can find on amazon.

Basically Oswald was completely innocent. He worked for the CIA and was actually stationed in Dallas to protect the President. He knew they would likely try to frame him if something happened to Kennedy, but he was trapped. Before he could testify to his innocence, a man by the name of Jack Ruby, with heavy debts to the mafia, killed him. Then, about a month later, after receiving several injections in jail, Ruby died from a fast-growing cancer. I really do recommend the above materials if anyone wants to know the real story.

Oswald worked for the CIA. In the army he worked on the top secret U-2 spy program out of Japan and then he defected to Russia after being taught Russian…..there he married the daughter of a high KGB official for several years and returning to the US with no problem…

Someone called the FBI threatening to kill Lee Harvey Oswald? Not surprising but to be expected! The question is how many threats were made against Oswald? Certainly not just one because the public were up in arms!
